Profile: A career minor leaguer, Stewart started 51 games behind the dish for the Giants after Buster Posey was lost for the season in late May. His defense was very good, but his wOBA of .259 was not. He will compete with Eli Whiteside to back up Posey in 2012. (Wendy Thurm)

Profile: Chris Stewart has the numbers of a lifetime backup catcher, because that’s precisely what he is. In 148 games and 394 plate appearances over parts of six seasons, Stewart owns a slash line of .217/.281/.302, and a career .259 wOBA. Even if Stewart does start the 2013 season as one of the Yankees’ two catchers, he’s got nothing to offer your fantasy team. (Navin Vaswani)

Profile: Traded to the Pirates in the wake of the Brian McCann signing, Stewart’s only real skill is framing pitches. (Okay, his arm is nice.) He’s never posted an on-base percentage above .300 and has little to no power. He’ll backup former teammate Russell Martin in Pittsburgh. (Erik Hahmann)

Profile: The journeyman second-string catcher has played in seven organizations since 2006 and accumulated just 888 plate appearances. He should serve as Francisco Cervelli's primary backup, but could lose playing time to Tony Sanchez. With no power, little speed and a career .259 batting average on balls in play due to a propensity to hit the pop-up, he's that rare zero category contributor. It appears that the only thing keeping him in the majors is his solid pitch framing skills. If his name winds up on your NL-Only roster, you did something wrong. (Mike Podhorzer)

The Quick Opinion: Limited power, no speed and an inability to turn balls in play into hits make Stewart a useless fantasy option. He's a rare example of a player where additional playing time won't necessarily increase his potential fantasy value.

Profile: On a rate basis, Chris Stewart has been the 10th-most valuable defensive catcher the last 50 years among those who recorded at least 1,000 plate appearances. He's a glove-first backstop by trade, although a more appropriate term may be "glove-only," given he offers little in the way of, well, anything with the bat. Following Francisco Cervelli's breakout of sorts, Stewart will probably see most of his playing time in high-leverage situations or when giving Cervelli the occasional breather. Stewart's deficient usage and offensive acumen carry no fantasy value, even in two-catcher leagues. (Alex Chamberlain)

The Quick Opinion: Chris Stewart provides elite real-life defense but nothing else in what is only a part-time role. He is not fantasy-relevant.
